Well, to be fair, it is your fault. You were the one who purchased a SBA and then let everyone know about it. Calling it a 'Susan' had no good effect. Or maybe it was because you called it a 'Susan'. Who knows?
I am wanting to return the coin at the sellers mailing expense. However, this is the third day that Ebay cannot print the information for a return label. I called Ebay and they apologized for their problem, but it hasn't fixed the problem. Since there is a limited time frame for the return, I contacted the seller. All he said was keep trying.
Do you really expect anything better of 80% of the posters here. It's going to take lots of time and posts but it's going to be fun helping these people learn numismatics.
You purchased a coined described as a 'PCGS PR69DCAM', which you confirmed through their certificate verification, and you probably viewed a picture or two in the listing, but you feel that the seller 'scammed' you somehow and you want a refund? Dude, it's a $20 coin. Suck it up and move on. YOU made a 'mistake', the seller wasn't trying to scam you.
?????????????????????????????????? You conclude that I don't know what the S stands for. Perhaps for your clarity, so you wouldn't misunderstand, I should have not referred to it as a SBA, but as a Susan B. Anthony Dollar, yet SBA seems to be the most common referent to this issue. That's like saying I can call the United States the US and apparently that makes me not know what the U or the S stands for. Not really good logic, eh?
Now that you know what the SBA coin is, maybe you can explain who or what SUSAN stood for, to commemorate her image to be put on the dollar.
SUSAN stood for a coin that is Seriously Ugly, Say All Numismatists. The mint evidently was still not fond of coin collectors at the time.
HICK UP - You must have been pretty riled up to post the same message twice. The point is is that it was described as a PR69DCAM confirmed or not, with the foreign discolored spot, I agree with INSIDER that it would grade PR68 or 67. HOW does purchasing a coin that doesn't meet a proper grade my fault ? I did not mean to infer that the seller scammed me. I would just think that a high volume seller would have better Quality Control, such as the U.S. Mint :>)
Don't let it bother you. It's just his normal way of dealing with everyone. I'm sure he will be around soon and give us both a hard time. It's his idea of having fun.
Even if that's true and he's a person of good heart and benign intent, what sort of twisted moral sense justifies such attitude? And the "nicer" he is, the more abhorrent such behavior. The moment we stray from strict numismatic talk into the personal arena - humor aside, and one cannot call this "humor" - we degrade the environment.
